“You have set ze aside for service
to my country. through the Conserva-

E nu going to say to yuu the words of
the Man of Galilee, ‘And whosoever of
you will be chiefest shall be servant of

ent chiefest among you, and please God
Ishall be servant of all,

“I must venounve all those things I

B. heretofure lived. No longer can the
claims of my profession or of niy busi-
ness be upon mec. 1 realize that I must
renounce these things, for thus far in
ny life polities has more or less been
in instrument; law and business have
heen my iain avaeations. You have
determined for me that heneeforth, so

Without it we must fail, and this con-

enrnest of the truth, un earnest of the
faith we have shown within ourselves,
a firm bellef in the principals we have
adopted in the resolutions we have nd-

“Let us dedicate ourselves, young
wen und women, to the service of Can-
dda that we nay mike it what we

- vould have it. And, youug men and

Tand of destiny, this land will, if Con-

‘MIRACLE WHEAT AGAIN

‘{Marmers Advised from Ottawa to be
Careful What Seed They Buy

There has appeared recently ii a
puniver of agricultural papers an arti-
cle entitled “King Tut’s Wheat Grown
in the West. ” The article refers’ to
certnin results obtained by .a Soldier
Setiler living near Edmonton, Alta.,
and gives the impression thet the
wheat in question was discovered in
1922 in the tomb of King Tut-ankh-
amen, Aso matter of fact the records
show that this wheat was known as
fer back as 1840 when one enterpris-
| ing gentleman offered heads at $5.00
each.

Thee above variety belongs to the
Poulard subspecies of wheat being
somewhat intermediate between the
‘gommon und ‘durum wheats. It has
numerous alinses, the most common of
which aire Egyptian, Eldorado, Many
Headed, Miracle, Mummy, Seven Head
ed and Alaska. It has always been
easy to interest people in this wheat
owing to its branched head. If an un-
branched head will yield so much sur-
ely a branched head will yield -much
more! While head for head this may
be true, yet experiments hare shown
that it does not hold good accre for
nere. This whent was probably intro-
duced into North America from Euro.
pe. or Egypt in Colonial days, It was
received by the Philadelphia Society
for promoting agriculture in 1807, since
which tine t has apperred periodically

nent of Agriculture began on exten-

a sive ‘nvestigation of this wheat, which

The essential facts regarding Alas-
ka wheat have been sumed up very
nicely in a bulletin by the U. 8. dept.
of Agriculture as follows -—

(1(That it hos been used in this
country very often as a means of de-
ceiving people, and very seldom as a
farm crop. -

(2) Thot it has failed to produce

parts of the conntry, ond has. never
been known to produce extraordinary
vields.

CANADA'S FUR RESOURCES

Effort Being Made to Increase the An-
nual Value by ‘Proper Handling

There are thousands of trappers in
Canada ond all of them are engaged
at one time or another during the win-
ter season taking pelts of wild fur-
bearers. There is hordly 2 farm, vil-
lage or tower in Canada that has not
got its trapper or fur tradder. Mil-
Hons. of dollars are distributed each
year among these persons as. a result
of the disposal of Canada’s annual raw
fur catch. Last year it had a value
of $15,072,244, A very considerable
increase in the yearly value would be
made possible were proper methods of
pelt handling more widely known.
‘Too many trappers think that onee
they huve taken a skin that nothing
more remains to be fone. Amateur
aud farmer trappers who form more
than. half the trapping fraternity are
the chief loesers through this lack of
knowledge in the handling of raw pelts
ng poorly prepared pelts bring much
lower prices than those which have
been properly prepared, Leading fur
authovities have stressed the fact that
in many cases up to one half the peits
coming to the raw fur markets fall in-
to the unprofitable class and that’ ev-
ery year there are tremendous losses
in pelt values that could be prevented.
The loss, however, is not confined to
the careless trappers, but effects the
whole fur industry and lowers the va-
lue of both the raw nnd the finished
product.
